People have been starting to hack the new Microsoft Kinect like a new toy on Christmas (wait, it is Christmas soon, perhaps why) and here’s a really cool GIANT, virtual keyboard using Kinect and Kinect open source (OpenKinect.org).
See demo of the device:
Microsoft sued for copyright infringement case against a Canadian company for their Office products, all Office products have now officially been stopped from sales in retail and online. Well, I don’t use Office anyways, GoogleDocs is much better. What I like most about GoogleDocs is the fact that it’s free and doesn’t clog up my new computer with crapware. There, I said it, don’t use Office anymore unless you really have to. But yes, Windows 7 is definitely something else, I like it.
On Monday, Microsoft yanked almost every version of Office f
Though a concept, the glass keyboard would be very uncomfortable and hand-straining device we really don’t need.
Glassss surface inputting is the new hotness for almost every gadget maker today. From from the iPhone to Microsoft’s Surface technology, flat is where it’s at. Introducing the flattest full size QWERTY keyboard to date, “No-key Keyboard” by Kong Fanwen.

The power of a modern cell phone is changing how many things are done today. For example I recently heard that the once CPU taxing program
Microsoft Surface may be an easy option for businesses to get a multi-touch surface computer but they did not invent it nor is it the only viable option to having one yourself.
The guys over at MaximumPC has done a fantastic job of documenting how to build a multi-touch surface computer all from scratch using open-source multi-touch software Touchlib. I find it facinating that the multi-touch is basically compose
IE 8 is finally here, out of beta, you can download it here.
I suspect that IE8 still will be slow but heck, I will give it a try later today and let you know on what’s up.

Here’s a first look at the new Palm Pre, built on open source platform, sorta like Android.
It looks really good but time will tell how many hackers and developers will catch onto Palm’s open source platform. There’s no word if it’s based on Linux or proprietary, in which case it will be a hard sell.
I highly like the screen very much. Well, watch the video!
The video is one of the most complete demonstrations of the Pre that we’ve seen to date, showing app to app transitions without the co
